awesome piggy box from Rat

(me and a wonderful sculpted piggy box that my 9 year old pal Rat made for me and sent as a surprise)
Cheri's daughter Rat is a new blogger and future potter (and also Rafiki's aunt, see below). I am totally thrilled. I go to the PO this morning to mail a box with a Rafiki cookie jar to Rat's sister, and here's a surprise for me from RAT? She designed and made the best piggy for ME (and wrote me a note on a fired tile!). I love pigs so much. THANK YOU!
Rat, I hope you don't mind, I am gonna try to make something a little bit like that myself, is that OK?
PS---Cheri posted a wonderful post about Rat whose real name is Laura.
